frequency input
An input that allows a frequency value to be read from an oscillating input signal.
gain
To increase the voltage level of an input signal to maximize the resolution of an
input.
general purpose input
An input that can be used as an analog, digital, or frequency input.
ground level shift
An undesirable condition in which the ground level elevates. This condition can
cause inputs to activate when they shouldn't.
half-bridge
The simultaneous use of a high-side switch and a low-side switch in order to
provide a load having both a battery voltage and a ground.
harness address pins
The pins a product uses to identify itself within a system.
H-bridge
A combination of two half-bridge circuits used together to form one circuit. H-
bridges provide current flow in both directions on a load, allowing the direction of
a load to be reversed.
high-side output
An output that provides switched battery voltage to an external load.
inductive load
A load that produces a magnetic field when energized. Inductors are electrical
components that store energy and are characterized by the following equation:
ladder logic
A programming language often used in industrial-control settings to control
electromechanical devices in a relay. Programs written in this language resemble
ladders: two vertical rails with a series of horizontal rungs—each representing a
logical rule—between them. Ladder programs for Parker Vansco products are
written using Vansco Multiplexing Module Software (VMMS).
